GAGA
GAGA was created by former EAT YOU ALIVE bassist Kenji earlier in 2015. Their most recent release is Roraku ( 籠絡) which came out in October this year, and their tracks play with a mixture of heavy screamo with the usual melodic vocals popular with this genre. You can check out their songs on their official YouTube channel.

Each member has left a message to thank and apologise to fans for this news. It’s noteworthy to mention that their mascot was a rooster named Alicia and it even has it’s own twitter account, which often posted images of bento boxes (lunch boxes usually with rice in).

Sally
Sally (サリィ。) officially debuted their first single Hakumei Ni Ame (薄命に雨) this month, but has been active since 2014. Fronted by vocalist hack., guitartist KO-JI and bassist Shin, they have been incredibly active with shows.
